 giving the motions of the spades or forks, the 

 whole being constructed and arranged in the 

 manner as set forth. 



31,738. W. F. QUINBY, Stanton, Del. 



Cultivators. Mar. 19, 1861. 



Claim. The employment of two or more 

 rotary cylinders A D', armed with suitable 

 teeth secured to their peripheries, and so com- 

 bined that the revolution of the foremost cyl- 

 inder shall give a greater relative speed to the 

 rear cylinder or cylinders, said cylinders hav- 

 ing their bearings in a suitable frame, which is 

 mounted in a carriage, consisting of frame E, 

 E, wheels F F, jointed frame H H, and front 

 wheel I, cords or chains J J pulleys m m, and 

 roller G, or their equivalents, all combined 

 and operating substantially as and for the pur- 

 poses set forth. 



32,137. DONALD MANN, Rochester, 



N. Y. Rotary Spading Machines. Apr. 



23, 1861. 



This invention is designed as an improve- 

 ment apon a machine patented to O. C. Evans 

 Nov. 4, 1856, and consists in arranging and sup- 

 porting the rollers or drums carrying the endless 

 chains of forks or spades in a frame separate and 

 distinct from the carrying truck or frame of the 

 machine, so that the digging apparatus can be 

 easily raised from the ground when the ma- 

 chine is moved from place to place. 



Claim. Arranging the drum or rollers a b 

 r, with their endless chains C, in the separate 

 frame B, substantially as and for the purposes 

 set forth. 



32,600. R. J. GATLING, Indianap- 

 olis, Ind. Machines for Pulverizing the 

 Soil June 18, 1861. 



These shares are constructed in the form 

 shown in the engraving, with sharp cutting edges 

 in front and arranged in the two ends of the 

 frame in such a manner that the soil left by one 

 set shall be cut by the other. The shanks of 

 the inner ends, of the shares are pivoted so as 

 to swing back on the sides of the frame, and 

 are held in place by means of levers placed 

 across them and secured by wooden pins which 

 break in case the share comes against any ob- 

 stacle in its way. 



Claim. The shares or cutters lettered K, 

 when made, constructed, arranged, and oper- 

 ated substantially as shown and specified, for 

 the purpose set forth. 



32,981. ISAAC 0. CRANE, Bronson, 

 Mich. Spading Machines. Aug. 6, 1861. 

 Upon the periphery of a revolving cylinder 

 is arranged a series of spades, the shanks of 

 which are pivoted in openings in the cylinder. 

 Secured to the axle, and extending lengthwise 

 through the cylinder, is a stationary cam, which 

 as the machine is moved along, moves the in- 

 ner ends of the tripping levers or shanks, and 

 causes the spades to descend into the ground. 

 As the inner ends escape from the cam on the 



revolution of the cylinder, the spade is made to 

 return to its first position by the action of a 

 spring secured within the cylinder to the spade 

 shanks. 



Claim. The combination of rotary cylin- 

 ders A, segmental cam K, pivoted spades I, 

 and springs J, all constructed, arranged and 

 operating in the manner and for the purposes 

 explained. 



34,473. N. BADGER, Shelbyville, Ky. 



Digging Machines. Feb. 25. 1862. 



Claim. 1. The combination of the oscilla- 

 ting guide I, arms d, and crank G, with cylin- 

 der F, as and for the purpose shown and de- 

 scribed. 



2. The combination with the parts of the 

 pulverizing rollers N P, as shown and described. 



34,751. EDWIN GORDON, Taunton, 

 Mass. Rotary Diggers. Mar. 25, 1862. 

 Claim. 1. The combination of the draught 



bar, c, and adjusting lever e with the bar g, 



upright/, arm b, and side cases a, as and for 



the purpose shown and described. 



2. The arrangement of the cylinders A E 



with each other and with the gears h i k I, as 



shown and described. 



35,218. CICERO COMSTOCK, Mil- 

 waukie, Wis. Rotary Plows. May 13, 1862. 

 Claim. 1. Hanging the spade or fork shafts 



inside of the periphery of the wheel, as set forth. 



2. Connecting the tooth or spade to the 

 shaft forward of the shaft, as recited. 



3. The introduction of india-rubber between 

 the box or cap of the tooth and the shafts to 

 give elasticity and protection to the tooth and 

 shaft, as described. 



4. The hinged-sections of the cams for al- 

 lowing of the folding up of the forks or spades. 



5. Hanging the spades' or forks' shaft to 

 the wheels or arms by the handles, as described. 



6. Providing that part of the cam which re- 

 ceives the pressure of the spade or forks' shaft 

 with the spring or elastic bearing. 



38,109. SILAS HEWITT, Seneca Falls, 

 N. Y. Clod Crushers. Apr. 7, 1863. . 

 Claim. The adjustable clearers E, arranged 

 as shown, in combination with the toothed 

 cylinder D, for the purpose specified. 



38,124. W. F. QUIMBY and G. G. 



LOBDELL, Stanton and Wilmington, 



Del. Cultivating Machines. Apr. 7, 1863. 



The cultivating toothed roller is mounted on 

 a frame on wheels, and is succeeded by a pul- 

 verizer ; the digger teeth are presented to the 

 ground by an arrangement of a central cam, a 

 rope, and a windlass, and are vibrated so as to 

 cast off the raised soil as they ascend from con- 

 tact with the surface. 



Claim. The arrangement and combination 

 of the windlass /, levers G, digging cylinders 

 D with teeth h, attached to fixed or oscillating 

 bars, pendent arms k, pulverizing cylinder J, 

 and windlass/, all constructed and operating 

 in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
